Last post I showed the hole in our wall in our kitchen. This was where our old tube TV sat on the shelf in the hall closet.

A friend of ours came and patched the drywall for us. It took several days (2 coats of drywall patching material) since he could only come when he had time. Hey, I can wait for a free drywall patch.
The drywall was finally done, and dry on Tuesday. Wednesday I started prepping to paint. Lots of tape over all the places I didn't want painted. We were painting more than just the one wall. We had to paint the closet, which extends into the ceiling, and the hall wall. With an open floor plan, there just isn't a good place to stop painting.
On Thursday, I painted all those areas. Have I mentioned that I really don't like painting? Especially the prep work. Up and down the ladder, and up and down off the floor for taping, painting, touch up on the corners, etc, and I'm still sore. At least it is done now.

I had to wait on hubby to re-install the shelf in the closet before I could put anything back in there. Now I'm just waiting on hubby to put the door back on (hubby is off teaching Wilderness First Aid this weekend, so, the door will have to wait until he gets back home). Now to get the new TV mounted on the wall, and have hubby build me a bookcase for my recipe books. The old shelf is way too small to hold all the recipe books.
With all the painting, I haven't had much time to stitch. I did go to Sewing, Etc. in Yorkville on Tuesday to sew. Marilyn and I had fun stitching with Kelly, the owner.
Hubby asked me to make him a tool roll for his chisels. I started it yesterday, and finished it today. I haven't had much stitching time on my hand crank lately, so, all of this was done on it, quilting, piecing and binding. I love stitching on my hand cranks. Very restful.

I hope he likes it. I used an upholstery fabric scrap with animals on it. I picked the fabric up on the freebie table at guild. The binding was left over from 2 different projects.
Now to go stitch some more. Hope you are having a great weekend, too!
